#Fromanteel
The watch brand as we know it now was founded in 2009 by Dutch watch lovers Alfredo Silva and Martijn van Hassel in Amsterdam. They combine contemporary design with timeless elegance and quality.
As they say, the brand resonates with those who value quality time. Both in the material sense of the word and quality time as a scarce resource to be cherished and shared.
They call this philosophy Quality Time You Can Truly Own.
The name and inspiration was taken from a Dutch clockmaker who made international fame during the 17th century. But what’s more important to know is that these guys really know what they’re doing with over a decade of experience in this business. They’re not one of those kickstarter micro brands who just dust off an old name and ask you for money.
I’ve known them for about ten years now, I’ve even owned a Fromanteel watch and I’ve seen them grow from start-up to very serious watch company.
They’re very experienced in after sales service and quality control.
Why I chose it
In the ten-plus years I’ve known these guys, Fromanteel has always chosen evolution over revolution. And the Pendulum .Blu shows that coming of age in a beautiful way.
It’s design is well-balanced, it’s quite well priced and the quality is outstanding.
It is understated, yet out there. It’s modern, yet elegant. It fills you with pride like a real luxury watch should.

Independence guarantee
All of my reviews are made independently. Watch companies do not get to see the video before it is published. If the watch company in question does have specific wishes, I always mention this in the video. All of the watches are borrowed from the watch companies and returned as soon as necessary. No covert advertisements are accepted without mentioning. Voluntary gifts such as financial support by fans are appreciated and accepted.

So funny how perfectly you pronounce the 2 names of the Dutch founders doing an English spoken video!
I find the Fromanteel very interesting. Hope to visit their shop in Amsterdam one day.
😂 call it Dutch habit 😉
See you next timeeee! 😁👌
Impeccable taste. Impeccable style. Impeccable knowledge. Your personal connection adds immensely to even an entry level piece. I would love to see it at 39 and under 11, for a piece like this. Your Teutonic style shows through.
Thank you! So glad to see you appreciate it. Entry piece really is the right way to look at it. I think a lot more people would love watches if a piece like this would be their first watch :-)
@@WatchTheFreshFaces I just tricked my half-brother into taking my Speed Master' (who never! would accept it)! bought in 1995 on my 30th, by giving it to his daughter as a gift when she exits the army next month (special forces etc etc) on the condition that she gives it to her younger brother who exits in two years (special forces, etc etc). because I am the oldest and our real brother died in Lebanon, so I have to give to someone, don't I? We.all.want.to go to the moon, but don't we want our brother to go there first?
@@msteaks1939 Oh wow, that's a really amazing story, thanks for sharing! I really believe this is what watches are all about. This a wonderful sort of trickery indeed. An amazing story, thanks for sharing!
Dear sir, love your video, will you make another one for bremont broadsword?
Dear Yin, thanks for your interest! That's an interesting one. I've not yet reviewed any Bremonts yet as I think they're quite pricy for the techniques used but I'll check if it would be interesting to do so! Will let you know as soon as I have one :-)
I love the design, I love where it comes from. I dislike the size of it, it is just too big...
Your the only watch youtuber who can pronounce the name of the numerous Dutch watch antrepeneurs 😁
Good review but for some reason the sunburst blue makes the watch look a bit cheap, like a Aliexpress watch... Maybe because of all the printing in white and the very think markers??
Think thats just me, the blue makes it a bit more sporty, even though a watch like this isn't really sporty🤔
Do like the little yellow detail! And the fact you can see the movement. Even the most simple movement should be visible!
Manual wind for the next model? 2 year waranty is a bit low for a product that should last you a lifetime.
Not really something for me, as a dress watch I'd rather get a Longines small seconds!
Hahaha next time I'll do a video on a Holthinrichs just for the sake of pronouncing that name 😁
Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well, love the comparison to the Longines - those watches are hard to beat at that price point. That definitely if one of the brands that made me fall in love with watches long ago👍👍

Date cut outs so often ruin a dial

Que marca más rara
Yes quite rare indeed, but definitely worth discovering 😁
